CBC Colloquium: "Rethinking the Purpose of Laboratory Courses: What do students gain from Authentic Inquiry?"
Thursday, January 27, 2022 - 3:30pm
Abstract: This talk will describe the redesign of a biology laboratory course to bring authentic science to introductory students. Emphasis will be placed on principles used to design Authentic Inquiry through Modeling in Biology (AIM-Bio) and how these changes have impacted students. The AIM-Bio curriculum allows students to propose and test their own scientific models in order to explain biological systems. Students work with the same organisms and some of the same tools as researchers in the UA Molecular and Cellular Biology department.
